Obama takes a selfie at the Mandela memorial

President Obama took a selfie during the memorial service for Nelson Mandela.

British Prime Minister David Cameron and Danish Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt also appeared in the photo with Obama. To Obama’s left, looking less than thrilled about the moment was first lady Michelle Obama.

Obama’s selfie landed him the marquee slot on the popular Tumblr “Selfies at Funerals” which documents the tone-deaf trend of people taking selfies while they should be in mourning. Teenage girls tend to be the most frequent offenders.
